INTERNAL REVENUE.
Interesting Figures from the Report OF
Commissioner Joseph >.
Miller.
The Total Collections for the Last Fiscal
Year Amounted to One Hundred
and Eighteen Million
Dollars.

The Hon. Joseph S. Miller, Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, has sub
mitted to Secretary Fairchild u preliminary
report of tho operations of that servics
during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1887,
from which the following facts and figures
are taken:
The total collections from oil sources of
internal revenue for the fiscal year just
ended were Sis, ,757, which amount
has been accounted for and covered into
the Treasury. This is $l,932,S8
moro than the collections for tho
previous fiscal year. The cost of collec-
ton TO be pail out of appropriations made
to the Revenue Bureau Tor the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1887, was about $4.OI5, 600.
In order to ascertain the exact cost OF co..
lection it will be necessary TO add the fore
going sum 10 the amount expended for the
printing of internal revenue stamps, the
appropriation for that purpose for the year
ended June 80, 1887, having been included
In the sum appropriated Tor the bureau OF
Engraving and Printing. The amount ex-
pended for this purpose will be stated in
subsequent report.
During the year the offices of the several
Collectors of Internal Revenue have been
examined as frequently as possible, and
the reports received of these examinations
indicate very generally satisfactory con-
dition of the internal revenue service
throughout the country. The receipts from
the different objects of taxation as COM
pared with receipts for the previous year
were as follows: Spirits, 65,629, 322, a
decrease of $3,2G2,9I4. Tobacco, $780,
l0S,067, an increase of $4,000, 200. Fer
mented liquors, S21, ,922,1S7 an increase
of $2,245, 456. Oleomargarine, 1923, ,94o,
all increase. Banks and bankers, $1,2SS,
all increase; miscellaneous, $2i7, ,945, an
increase of $2l ,435. The quantities of dis
tuied tobacco, snuff, cigars, and cigaretes'
on which tax was paid during the year
were as follows: Spirits distilled from
grapes, apples, and peaches, 1,2ll ,532
gallons, decrease of 3l4 ,4G2. Spirits dis
filled from other materials, 66, l63, S59 gal
Ions, decrease of 3,12G,502. Number OF
cigars, 3, ,7SS, 1906, ALB, an increase of 277,-
437 ,455. Number of cigarettes, 1854, ,5O5,-
200, an increase of 273, ,543,050. Snuff,
6,561 ,S75 pounds, an increase of 395,o26.
Tobacco, 1879, ,937 ,64S pounds, an increase
of IL, ,511 ,455. Fermented liquors, 23, ILL.,
| 526 barrels, an increase OF 2,41O,593 bar
rels.
The above figures indicate decrease In
tho consumption OF spirituous liquors and
a corresponding increase in the consump-
ton of malt liquors.

lections of internal revenue by States and
Ter itories during the year so far as the

MouRAD EFFENDL

That strife mongst faithful Mussuimans would

And ut the muezzin's call bow low in the dust,
And that the tribe Of faithful would increase.
He was a farmer in Roumania's PLAIN;
He mourned a son, sire, and brother slain,
And always'look with faith on earth and sun
Whom his own grief was heavy In his breast
He always had kind words for the oppressed, :.
And never coased TO pray GODS VIII DC uone'
Mourad was old-some seventy years had sped
Since first the sun had shone upon his head
His wives we're three, his children woro tnree
score;
His sons we're soldiers, and wcro in that fight
Decreed by the great Sultan to be right
Loyal and brave the Turkish arms they pore
Then came the news from Plevna's battlefield
How many Turkish warriors had TO yield.
The men from Moscow had the battle won;
The blood of Turkish chivalry was spilled.
Mourad's six sons were in that battle killed
The weeping father said, GODS will be done.
Mourad went home hoping the news untrue;
Prayed unto heaven, then read the Koran
through.
Retired and dreamed Of cruel y. Pisvnss lev hsnt
Their swords were bright, their step and Ian
As men Who know they are in the right.
The morning sun that shono ON Mourad's head
Confirmed the news that his six sons were
dead.
Mourad does nothing now but weep and pray {;
He anxious waits that long-promised peacei
He hopes that war will then forever cease.
Why should the sons OF men each other slayP
Join we the Turk and to his prayer give scope
Unto mankind hold out that blessed hope
That war and all its evils now shall cease.
And let us hope that all our future days
Shall have in them nothing but cause for

May in this world be universal peace.

MIR. Kinsmon purchased horse and an
equestrian outfit, at town near the west
end of Lake Erie, he had not quito passed

that place to village forty miles distant,
which We will call Sunderland, there was a
kind of stage route; but the advice OF good
people az the town on the lake determined
the traveller not to patronize it.

Almost everybody has heard of the

Should this be effected there can be
but little doubt that the Athletic Club
will again rise to the place it held few

that Latham and Bushong do not agree
together, and that change would there

IL will be remembered that Latham and
Bushong indulgcd in fight on the Baltl-

manager, Barni, of the Baltimores, pre-
fered charges against them, which re-
suited in their each being fined 800, the
fine being levied at a special meeting of the

On Monday night some person un-

enter four different places in the little
village of Greenwich with intent to
robbery. The man first broke in the
office of Job Bacon, the Gamer, but
secured nothing. From there he went
to the office of Philip Sheppard, far
mer, but was again unsuccessful. He
then attempted to force an entrance
into the railroad station, but every
thing was so securely fastened that it
baffled all his efforts.
Not caring to give up without Sc
curing something for his nights labor
he made his way to the home of ex-
pressman Freeman. Upon the roof
he crawled and attempted to enter a
second story window. The noise he
made awakened Mr.. Freeman and that
gentleman stole cautiously down stairs
and out in the yard for the purpose OF
catching the robber The fellow heard
him and jumped from the roof. Mr..
Freeman emptied two chambers of bis

man, but unfortunately was unsuccess-

Railroad Relief.

The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Com
pany's Voluntary Relief Fund has
membership of $1,000 and is rapidly
increasing. The limit of time in which
members may increased their insurances
without passing q medical examination
has been changed from months to =
years, enabling those too old or enfee-
bled to pass an examination to increase
their insurance to the limit if desired.
Formerly a member absent from duty
on account of suspension or furlough
was obliged to keep up payments or
lose his benefits in case of disability.
This has been changed to allow such
members three months time in which
to return to duty without payment of
contributions, and shall remain in good
standing in the fund. A member sick,
under the old regulations, and return
ing to duty, was obliged to pay for the
balance of the month in which he re-
turned to duty, counting from the day
first worked to end of month, inclusive.
This has been changed so that the ball
ance of month need not be contributed
for. Under the new form member
returning to duty and having relapse
within two weeks has his time OF sick
ness or disability counted as one dis
ablement. Formerly six days were de-
Quoted each time in the beginning OF
disability. The old dregulations required
that member drawing benefits for
sickness for fifty-two weeks must then
be dropped, and when disabled by ac-
cident after drawing benefits for fifty
weeks he was then paid benefits at half
the usual rates. This has now been
changed in the first instance to allow
members disabled by sickness to re
ceive half rate benefits after tifty-two
weeks In addition to this member,
after being sick fifty-two weeks, may
return to duty and still contribute for
his death benefits. If he shall work
four weeks he may again draw bene-
fits for fifty-two weeks
